another amazing and sad episode.
rcwgrimm12 December 2020
This episode is great. the acting is on point. even being on season 17 this show is still amazing. it shows what health care workers and other people have to go through when someone has covid. the names of the victims is amazing and it honors them and makes it so they are not forgotten.

Bias
tmccheyne1 May 2021
I'm sorry may be it's different in Britain...but this Covid is not prejudiced and leaving white people alone. I cannot stand that this has to be a Black life matters, which of course it does, but I have had personal loss from this Pandemic, having lost my younger fit lovely brother. Two colleagues and a neighbour. None were the televised type that you denote...white people are dying, Asian people are dying, German, French etc etc etc. Don't make it a racial problem that is not right. This Covid couldn't care less what race and colour you are it destroys lives and families.

Have respect for ALL lives.

Nice Episode of Grey's Anatomy Season 17, really emotional times for Bailey. She just lost her mother, a sad goodbye!

Honoring Loss
kfer195711 December 2020
This is the first review I have ever written on this site, but I felt I had to because I was so moved. First as a daughter who lost her mother 24 years ago, I felt my mother's love and the love I had felt her as she passed once again . Second I found the tribute to those we have lost to COVID-19 welcome and appropriate. Grey's Anatomy did a service with this episode.

Grey's Anatomy, I just really need to commend you guys on the way you truly touch my heart with almost every episode of every season. But I truly appreciate and thank you for the end of episode tribute to every person who has lost their life to Covid. Thank you.

Virus doesn't discriminate, but the conditions do.
billiejoesmum4 June 2021
I know this season is being pretty heavy handed with the discourse on how race is a big problem with Covid, but none of it is untrue, those of us who don't live in black communities just don't see it.

As Jackson tries to explain to the audience, it's the environment that systemic racism has created for POC that makes them so much more likely to catch the virus; overcrowded housing in poor communities, being frontline workers in jobs that put them at direct risk, being unable to isolate (or shield even if immunocompromised) because of being unable to afford to stop working or pay for separate accommodation, even if infected, and not being able to access healthcare because of no insurance, or prejudice from services. All things that are significantly more likely to be happening to people who aren't white.

One reviewer mentioned that Britain still has people dying and hasn't got this problem. Every death from Covid is tragic and unfair, but that's not the point.

They may not have realised that (outside of major cities) we are a much whiter country, with significantly fewer POC, and although we still have a problem with prejudice and disadvantage, it isn't the same culture as the US, with its long history of slavery. Even then, we still have issues with the so called Indian variant spreading like wildfire through ethnic minority communities, because of the differences in the risk factors.

As I said, it's easy to think that a problem doesn't exist because it's not in your environment.

I live in a very white area of the UK, and I'm extremely grateful for the cultural education that I've had from Grey's. I know very few POC, and it's taught me a lot that I just wouldn't have learned organically from my own peers. There are so many topics covered that just aren't an issue here (gun violence for example), so this sheltered white woman is thankful for the education.

Grey's should be applauded for its commitment to diversity and never shying away from the real issues.

Filler Episode

Warning: Spoilers
This episode was most likely a filler. But im glad we get to see more of Bailey and her character, and Jackson and Richard. Im really liking Maggie, and glad Jo is falling in love with Medicine again.

Real life
danbaig17 March 2021
This show tackles real life so well. There are those who hide their heads in the sand & then there are those who see & feel what's real.

Not a show for escaping life
emily-uk13 December 2020
Another episode about COVID with what felt like no actual storyline. It would be lovely if they could have made this season less depressing, I feel like this is all too on the nose to actually be enjoyable to watch, might as well just watch the news. Not enjoying this season, also getting sick of the constant race references.

Stop de covid storyline
c_kulker-800-76772510 May 2021
If I want to hear about covid, I watch the news. I watch tv series to escape reality, not to be kicked back to reality. Stop the covid storyline.

I'm gonna stop watching this after all these years
jandrandr14 December 2020
I am unpleasantly surprised with this season. Although the previous one was a downgrade as well I still had my hopes. Storyline is boring at best, just covid covid covid as if we are not hearing much about it every day. It's time to call it a day.

Wokeness making me sleepy...
rczoop30 August 2022
Have been binge watching this series for several months now but seems like the more woke the plots become the more boring and now I fear the show has become more about a personal crusade than entertainment. Don't get me wrong, overall I think this is one of the best shows on TV and the writing has been excellent, but I fear I may not make it to the current season. When you step back and analyze the characters they all fit into some very distinct categories. I wish and hope the show gets back on track to what I liked about the first seasons instead of continuing down this perceived road of reality. But it is Hollywood all the same. Man isn't this 600 characters yet?
